BACKGROUND
Little is known about the difference between anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antibody-positive encephalitis and anti-glutamate receptor (GluR) antibody-positive encephalitis.
OBJECTIVE
To characterize anti-GluR antibody-positive encephalitis.
METHODS
We report a 33-year-old man
Dysarthria and aphasia represent primary symptoms of cerebral nerve dysfunction, and may particularly involve the facial and the hypoglossal nerves. In order for management to be effective, careful examination of the muscular functions of the oral cavity is required, with particular emphasis placed
An 88-year-old male with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and severe congestive heart failure (HF), was admitted to the Neurological Intensive Care Unit because of the acute onset of aphasia and left hemiplegia. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a left atrial (LA) cavity thrombus. Its
Arterial disruption during brain surgery can cause devastating injuries to wide expanses of white and gray matter beyond the tumor resection cavity. Such damage may occur as a result of disrupting blood flow through en passage arteries. Identification of these arteries is critical to The aim of this paper is to integrate different bodies of research including brain traveling waves, brain neuromodulation, neural field modeling and post-stroke language disorders in order to explore the opportunity of implementing model-guided, cortical neuromodulation for the treatment of
Multiple primary cancers are not uncommon in the head and neck region. Since the time for treatment will be prolonged if each lesion is treated separately, simultaneous treatment of the cancers is preferred to ensure complete remission of lesions and increased survival of patients. In this paper,
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of arcuate fasciculus (AF) navigation for AF localization and reconstruction.
METHODS
Reconstruction of the AF and assessment of the aphasia quotient (AQ) were performed in 43 cases before and after surgical removal of lesions in the language area
We present a successful laparoscopic treatment of paraesophageal hiatal hernia with an incarceration of the pancreas and jejunum. The patient was a 75-year-old woman who had complaints of epigastric pain and dysphasia. A chest x-ray revealed a mediastinal air-fluid level. Chest computed tomography
Two patients with benign esophageal disease were successfully treated by thoracoscopic surgery. First case was a 66 year old male with esophageal diverticulum, who had complained of progressive dysphasia. The esophagogram showed a giant epiphrenic diverticulum which was 8 cm in diameter. Entire
Penetrating head injuries are extremely rare in Japan. The authors describe a case involving a penetrating head injury from an arrow fired from a crossbow. A 52-year-old man who had shot himself transorally in a suicide attempt was admitted to the authors' hospital. On admission, he was conscious
The brain is a particularly rare site of metastasis from papillary microcarcinoma, with only few cases described in the literature. We present a case of 59-year-old man who presented with seizures and dysphasia due to left frontal lobe cystic mass, which was excised and turned out on histopathology
OBJECTIVE
Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is extremely difficult to treat. Approximately 70% of patients are poorly controlled diabetics, and many of the remainder are immunocompromised as a consequence of cytotoxic drugs, burn injuries, or end-stage renal disease. Despite standard treatment consisting
Multifocal cerebral hemorrhage refers to the cerebral hemorrhage in 2 or more lesions at the same time or 48 h in the brain caused by various causes, which has an acute onset, high mortality rate, and poor clinical treatment effect. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is caused by the direct The patient was a 41-year-old woman, gravida 0. She had no notable medical history. Laparoscopic right salpingo-oophorectomy and left cystectomy were performed for bilateral ovarian endometriomas, which were both pathologically diagnosed as benign. Six months later, she presented with left lower
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with a significant mortality of up to 50%, with almost all survivors suffering from debilitating functional compromise. In most cases, open craniotomy has failed to yield significant survival benefit. However, emerging evidence suggests that
